We landed in Beaufort, S.C. a while back and saw this Baron on the losing end of a runaway -6!
The FBO told me that the lady pilot (student?) was in the process of moving the -6 to a tiedown before arriving thunderstorms. It was parked two spaces to the right of the Baron and went to full throttle at startup, making most of a left 180 before chopping the Baron up. Amazing what a WOT 160 Lyc can do! Notice the exposed rocker shafts and prop missing big chunks!
Never stand in front of an airplane during its startup!
Best,
